The Dammeron Valley (DV) Community Fire Council (CFC) was established to maintain the Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP), as well as to support completion of actions requiring input from the community. Through these actions, we create a community commitment to reducing overall risks of wildfire and increase efficacy and funding of the fire department. The CFC also helps manage our nationally recognized Firewise USA® program participant status.

​

The CFC is led by Robin Fulford and Kim Doster (DVLA Board representative). The CFC is supported by:

​

• Division Chief John Hennessey (DVFR representative)

• Heber Heyder (Washington County Fire Warden)

• John Schmidt (DNR Forestry, Fire and State Lands, Wildland Urban Interface Coordinator)

• Jason Whipple (Washington County Emergency Services Director)

• Darby Evans (Washington County Emergency Services, Community Wildfire Specialist)

• Ryan Andersen (DVFSSD representative)

• Mark Bold (representative for agricultural businesses)

• Lin Hokana (representative for large animal owners)

​

Please report your hours and investment dollars below to help us meet Firewise USA® program requirements. 

 

Examples of activities that count are available from the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA).

 

If you need assistance clearing trees and other fuels from your property, we suggest hiring DVFR, as the proceeds would benefit DVFR and thus the community; Division Chief Hennessey or Ryan Andersen would be the initial points of contact for that assistance.
